RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
PanAmerican Capital Group (Continued)
Due to delays in mine production, PanAmerica agreed to allow LKA to defer a portion of the first installment payment due January 4, 2010. The second installment payment due April 5, 2010 and third installment due on July 5, 2010, were also deferred until August 15, 2010. In consideration for these payment deferrals LKA agreed to make certain additional interest payments and to provide additional collateral/security on any unpaid balances due as of August 15, 2010. LKA and PanAmerican entered into a Waiver Agreement on June 10, 2010 whereby PanAmerican waived its Enforcement Rights with respect to the delinquent payments on the Note in consideration for the following:
(a)
LKA must pay all amounts payable in respect of the installment payments otherwise due under the Note on January 4, 2010, April 5, 2010 and July 5, 2010 to PanAmerican on or before August 15, 2010;
(b) on or before August 15, 2010, LKA must pay to PanAmerican, in addition to the amounts otherwise payable under subsection (a) above, an amount equal to 2% per month of any unpaid installment payments, calculated with respect to any such unpaid installment payment, from the date such installment payment was otherwise due; and
(c) (i) LKA must issue to PanAmerican one unregistered and restricted share of LKA common stock for each dollar of unpaid installment payments otherwise due as of the date of the Waiver Agreement; and (ii) on July 5, 2010, issue to the PanAmerican one unregistered and restricted share of LKA common stock for each dollar of the installment payment otherwise due as of July 5, 2010. The shares are to be held by PanAmerican as security and are to be surrendered to LKA for cancellation upon satisfaction of the Borrower of the obligations set forth in (a) and (b) above. In circumstances where such obligations are not satisfied the Holder shall be entitled to retain such Shares as beneficial owner thereof provided that such retention shall not otherwise relieve the Borrower from its obligations under the Note or the Waiver Agreement.
As a result of LKA’s failure to pay the required installment payment on August 15, 2010, 220,453 and 169,652 shares of LKA common stock were surrendered to PanAmerican with a fair value of $358,897. The fair value of these shares was recorded as debt default expense for the year ended December 31, 2010.
LKA failed to make the required final note installment payment due January 4, 2011. To-date, PanAmerican has not made any demands on the past due installments and LKA continues to pursue a resolution with the debt holder. As a result of the Waiver Agreement and payment defaults, LKA has reclassified a total of $268,873 in accrued derivative liability related to the past due Note payments to the remaining original $497,448 note principal and has accrued $120,540 in interest payable, at a rate of 2% per month, for the period from the dates of note defaults through March 31,June 30, 2011. Total accrued interest on the Waiver Agreement and past due note balance was $120,540$166,519 and $74,560 at March 31,June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Interest expense on the Note totaled $45,980$91,959 for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2011.
Other Related Party Transactions
LKA pays a company owned by an officer and shareholder $1,500 per month for office rent and expenses. The affiliated Company, (Abraham & Co., Inc. a FINRA member and registered investment advisor) also executes LKA’s securities transactions and manages its investment portfolio. LKA owed Abraham & Co. $18,000$22,500 and $13,500 in past due amounts as of March 31,June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

SIGNIFICANT EVENTS
Precious Metals Sales
During March 2011, LKA delivered a total of 110.1 dry short tons of precious metals ore valued at $136,736.
During May 2011, LKA delivered a total of approximately 110.112.4 dry short tons of precious metals ore for a net value of $46,150.
During June 2011, LKA delivered a total of approximately 88.0 dry short tons of precious metals ore for processing estimated at a value of $136,736.$143,831. LKA received a provisional advanced payment on the delivery of $63,036$39,225 in AprilJune 2011 and estimates and additional $73,700$104,606 upon final settlement of the ore processing in MaySeptember 2011.
Common Stock
During February 2011, LKA entered into a consulting agreement for investor and public relations services. As a result of this agreement, LKA issued 50,000 shares of its fully vested common stock. LKA recorded $37,500 in consulting expense, or $0.75 per share.
During March 2010, LKA issued 20,000 share of its common stock to a consultant for services rendered. LKA recorded $13,600 in consulting expense, or $0.68 per share.
Derivative Liability
As a result of the repayment terms of the Note with PanAmerican Capital Group, Inc. (see Note 2) being indexed to the closing spot price of gold on COMEX at each repayment date, the Note is considered to be a hybrid debt instrument with an embedded derivative liability. Accordingly, the embedded derivative liability was required to be bifurcated from the debt host agreement and recorded as a liability at its fair value as of the consolidated balance sheet dates. The changes in fair value of the liability have been recorded as current period gains or losses in the consolidated statement of operations.
The fair market value of the embedded derivative liability was determined by applying quoted market prices of gold futures on the COMEX market for instruments that settle on or near the related debt payments, multiplying the quoted prices by the underlying number of troy ounces of gold at each repayment date and subtracting the otherwise required cash payment of the underlying note.
During the three months ending March 31, 2011, LKA failed to make the final required payment on the derivative liability at January 4, 2011 and reclassified the remaining $84,283 balance of the liability and related accrued interest to a related party note payable (see Note 2).

GOING CONCERN
LKA's consolidated financial statements are prepared using Generally Accepted Accounting Principles applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. However, LKA has recently accumulated significant losses and has negative working capital. All of these items raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans with respect to alleviating the adverse financial conditions that caused management to express substantial doubt about the LKA's ability to continue as a going concern are as follows:
LKA is currently engaged in an intensive exploration program at the Golden Wonder mine with the objective of returning the mine to a producing status. The exploration program, which began in November, 2008, has involved extensive sampling/assaying for the purpose of identifying possible new production zones within the mine. During this evaluation period, sampling and analysis of exposed veins yielded encouraging results and some precious metals revenues. While encouraging, no conclusion can be drawn at this time about the commercial viability of the mine and LKA continues to pursue potential third party operator or lease agreements for the property.

GOING CONCERN (CONTINUED)
In order to support continued operation of the mine, LKA entered into several financing transactions during the year ended December 31, 2010 and plans on raising additional funding during 2011 to support the continued exploration and development of the Golden Wonder mine. If LKA is not successful in the resumption of mine operations which produce positive cash flows from operations, LKA may be forced to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing to fund its ongoing obligations or risk ceasing doing business.
There can be no assurance that LKA will be able to achieve its business plans, raise any more required capital or secure the financing necessary to achieve its current operating plan. The ability of LKA to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plan described in the preceding paragraph and eventually attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

During the six months ending June 30, 2011, LKA failed to make the final required payment on the derivative liability at January 4, 2011 and reclassified the remaining $84,283 balance of the liability and related accrued interest to a related party note payable (see Note 2).

The convertible note accrued interest at 5% and commission expense at 7% of the cash balance provided through the due date of June 1, 2011 and is convertible upon the consummation of a sale of equity securities of the Company for cash in an equity financing at a conversion price equal to the price per share paid by the investors in such financing. During June 2011, the convertible note payable became past due and pursuant to the terms of the note, the to-date interest and commission expense of $18,000 as of June 1, 2011 was reclassified to note principle and the total then began to accrue interest at 15% per annum. Accrued interest on the convertible note totaled $2,002 and $2,466 at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

Results of Operations
For The Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2011 Compared to The Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2010.

This reductionincrease in gold (ore) sales during the prior-year period was due to the Company’s shift in emphasis, at that time,from a focus on underground drilling and reduced mining activity.activity in the year-ago period to a re-emphasis on mining activity in the 2011 period. Currently, mining (exploratory) and related operations have resumed to normal and expected levels.
Operating expenses increased substantially from $183,102$131,581 in the quarterly period ended March 31,June 30, 2010, to $356,079$417,910 in the current quarter. This increase was mainly due to a $103,090$146,707 increase in exploration, development and related costs for the Golden Wonder Mine as wells as a $58,718$159,278 increase in management advisoryprofessional fees mainly as a result of granting common stock for services valued at $51,100.$32,650 and common stock warrants for services valued at $107,812. Exploration, development and related costs increased to $175,179$174,568 in the quarter ended March 31,June 30, 2011, from $72,089$27,861 in the year-ago quarter. Professional fees increased substantially to $85,262$169,957 in the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2011, compared to $23,192$10,679 in the 2010 period.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and that management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of March 31,June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were, subject to the limitations noted above, effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded,
13
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules, regulations and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
Our management, with the participation of the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
